Nehemiah 13:22-24

Revised Geneva Translation

²² And I said to the Levites that they should cleanse themselves, and that they should come and keep the gates, to sanctify the Sabbath Day. Remember me, O my God, concerning this, and pardon me according to Your great mercy.

²³ Also in those days, I saw Jews who married wives of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab.

²⁴ And half their children spoke in the language of Ashdod and could not speak in the Jews’ language (and according to the language of the people), but of other people.
